I would rather 7:00 myself. Back in the early days of the CBJ, all of the games were at 7:30.

 

[ViD]

Well, 3 OT this time ?

Vrana and Connolly should be flopped in the Caps lineup.

All 6 series that have gone at least 4 games were either sweeps or 3-1 leads. Toronto and Capitals are the only ones left who can even up things up after 4 games. There's nothing like Game 7s in the playoffs. It's a shame we may not get too many in this first round.

Actually

I anticipate a conservative game from both teams for the most part. Neither will want to make the critical mistake. Should feel like OT the entire time. So when OT hits it will feel like a root canal.

As someone who's not used to his team making the playoffs twice in two seasons, let alone having a series lead, with all games so far going to overtime, my body is about to reject itself.

I just realized that the Capitals have played 9 straight OT games in the first round of the playoffs. That has to be inching close to some kind of record.

Correct - I think it's 8 out of the last 9 1st round games.

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

I think whoever wins this game tonight has the advantage in the series. Then again if you had asked me before the series started if I would be happy being up 2-1, I would have been ecstatic. Funny how reality is never as good or as bad as we think it will be.

Not sure if you were around then but those were some bad days and when the Jackets rolled out a penis in a wheelchair as the new mascot, I couldn't decide whether to laugh or cry.

So true. And thus, will never stop being hilarious.

Boomer also kinda looked like a bong with a mustache...

The more I read posts in the Pens-Flyers series, the less I care who wins this series so long as the winner beats Pittsburgh, hopefully mercilessly.

I couldn't agree more. I would flip to a Caps fan real quick if they play the Pens.

 

[Daisy Ridley]

I’m pumped for this one boys

 

[bukwas]

So yeah, who does everyone have for the O.T winner?

First things first, single or double OT? Or, God forbid, triple OT?

 

[CarolinaBlueJacket]

Both fanbases are eerily quiet. Both sides expecting the worst?

We have paid the price of sharing this world.
